Hmm. Not sure if we are really such test heroes on the TortoiseHg side.

I don't think we have a systematic test-before-release for TortoiseHg.

And we certainly benefit a lot from the mercurial testsuite and the
thankless work Patrick has done on Windows testing (thanks Patrick!).

And the amazing job Steve is doing dealing with all the TortoiseHg bug
reports (I felt a bit how that hurts when he was on holiday last time :-).

Well. You have seen Matt using big caps, and saying he's pissed. So that
probably means something.

So I suggest we listen to him. After all, in the end it's Matt who is
ultimately blamed if mercurial is screwing up someone's crown jewels.

I don't think his tone was out of line though, so, can we please end the
arguments about tonality here? It starts getting a bit lame.

Let's have a (virtual) cup of tea, and move on.
